They need to probably do this twice more if the the "D" is going to give up 28 again.

i thought the defense played well, the texans had alot of calls go their way that helped them move the ball down the field....but the defense and offense both played well today.

I agree with this. The defense played, I think, better than the score would indicate. Keep in mind the ridiculous field position surrendered by our special teams. We did well to contain Foster, and the pass defense didn't let up much until late in the game.

It would have been nice to see the defense finish though, i.e. not giving up those last two touchdowns. But as people have said, the refs did make calls that extended a couple Texans drives.

That seems a bit harsh on the D. Kick coverage gave up three long returns, two of which were for 60+ and 90+ yards to Manning. 14 of the Texans' 28 points were enabled by those two returns. Otherwise, defense played very, very well. In fact, this was a well-rounded playoff win - good on pass and rush offense, good on pass and rush defense, not seen around here for quite a while. Special teams need counseling this week. They were horrible to watch. I was very happy with the quality of play. And, of course, Tom Terrific was his usual extraordinary self.

True indeed. Years from now, when all this is over and BB, TB, Vince, Gronk, Welker, and maybe Hernandez are in the hall of fame, we'll be telling kids born too late to have witnessed these past 11 years, what it was all about. It will be so unbelievable that they'll have to look it up on their wristband computers - and even then, it'll be hard for them to believe it.

Brady is so amazing. He makes it look so easy. I love watching him play. All the talk about Peyton and Peterson for MVP, both are home, Peyton probably is delivering his Papa John's pizza's.. Peyton maybe a great QB but HOW many post season wins does he have????? Brady is The Best QB I have ever seen!!!!
